I will be 20 this October and I have never been so scared...
I moved to Denmark from south Europe on the 21st of August a year ago full with dreams and hope. However, things did not work as I wanted... I was not able to find a job as quickly as my colleagues and I had a massive problem with housing. Since December last year, I started feeling unwell, namely, I started having sensations in my head, which do not stop till now; I have little breaks 1 day max. and then again. The closest explanation is when a person is chilled, as a result of cold wind and so on. After that, I started experiencing strange pain around my left and right armpits; a doctor checked and there were no swollen limphs or spots, again, the pain comes and goes away. The next moment is when I started having muscle spasms all over my body and weakness in my legs, it comes with a feeling that I will fall on the floor. The strange fact is that I have this feeling of weakness when my legs are in horizontal position, predominantly when I am in the bed. One more fact - I have the feeling that the skin on my feet and arm is stretching somehow. Since March I have problems with swallowing, a feeling like my throat is becoming smaller and smaller + I have white phlems every day, 2-3 per day. I do not know since when but I started having problems with eating, I used to eat very fast but now I eat slowly - 1 hour. One more fact, a problem with penile tumescence - I was OK when it came to this but now I simply cannot... and finally I go to the toilet somehow oddly, namely, a lot of times and almost nothing. The thing which keeps me up all night is that nothing disappears, more and more horrible things are coming. I just want to be normal, to be focused on my study and live as my peers...
Please, if somebody had this experience or have knowledge about ASL,share with me how did you solve the problem or what you did. Is it realistic to think about ASL?
P.S. In the last months I have been 14-15 times to my GP but he is doing nothing. The only thing he gave me was Multivitamin and 2 blood works - everything was OK.
Best, Benjamin
